We have been in a bit of a dilemma with feeding our frogs as there has been no flies about. After a visit to animates she suggested breeding our own mealworms for the frogs! How interesting! The mealworm lifecycle consists of 4 stages: egg, larva (mealworms), pupa and adult beetle. It's a form of metamorphosis.
Today we set up a new container to give it a go, we have a few beetles and mealworms to start the process "eww creepy" said Hazel "they are so wriggly" said Zac. We added to the container oats, fruit, the mealworms and beetles. Let's see how we go! This is going to be interesting to watch.
The frogs seemed quite happy with their new cuisine too, beetles, YUM!
